Civil Rights

Minnesota Lawyer Dedicated to Protecting Civil Rights

Employees' civil rights are protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 among other laws. However, children and vulnerable adults often suffer from civil rights violations which occur outside the workplace. Healthcare workers may abuse vulnerable adults or school districts may discriminate in education based on gender or disability.

The law office of John A. Klassen, PA, in Minneapolis, represents individuals and families whose civil rights have been violated by private and public agencies, such as schools and mental health facilities. We are currently litigation significant cases involving the alleged sexual abuse of vulnerable adults by employees of health care facilities. If your child or loved one was abused by a school teacher, mental health worker, or other agency worker, we may be able to help right this wrong and get compensation and justice for you and your family.

Abuse and Civil Rights Violations

We are dedicated to advocating for vulnerable adults and vulnerable children who were sexually abused or physically abused by those who should have protected them. If a government agency or school district has failed to take action to protect your child or loved one, or if there were no adequate safeguards in place to prevent abuse at a health care facility, the agency, district or institution may be liable for the abuse.

Our firm has successfully represented families of vulnerable adults who were abused in mental health institutions, as well as parents of disabled children who were abused at school. We will evaluate your case and take steps to protect your family. We are dedicated to preventing vulnerable children and adult abuse in all public and private institutions.

Educational Discrimination Violates Your Children's Civil Rights

Since 1994, attorney John Klassen, has been a dedicated advocate for the protection of civil rights in area school districts. Our firm has more than a decade of experience in representing families of children who faced discrimination based on sex or disability.

For example, if your daughter was given lesser athletic opportunities solely because of gender, or if your child with a disability was denied quality educational programs by your school district, the district may have violated your child's civil rights. Our firm can advocate for your child's rights and defend your cause in litigation, if necessary. We are prepared and determined to try and right the wrong if your child was victimized by the school district.
